Hobo kitteh lives in a box, has no job, passed out, and comes from a long line of beggars.
Daniel S. says this is, “Louis P. Louis (the P stands for Peepers since she has great, big beautiful eyes. And yes, she is a she named Louis).” And we thought the P was for Pawverty.
Must snorgle ketteh belleh…
Same here, Gigi
Followed by cuddles and snorgles 
Hmmm, an abandoned kitteh in a box. I will take you home with me. MINE! ALL MINE! BACK! BACK! BACK! MINE! MINE! MINE!
And I mean it!
I’m a happy miser!
aw ah… poor lil beggar. I would happily give food and $$$ to this lil beggar.
I would give her anything she wanted, including a new custom deluxe “box” to live in (In MY house, of course.)
spotty belleh !!!! It must be fruit season ! ( Cause I feel a raspberry coming on !)
P is for Purrrty!
Open with caution, as contents are fragile and can become hyperactive upon awakening.
I want that tummy!!! I’ll have to go kiss my kitty’s tummy now. Although she just had surgery so it’s all bald
oh, I cross my fingers for your little darling, hilz. Give her/him a gentle pat on the head from me
Awww ditto from me. Although I admit, I love the hair grow-back time on nekkid kitties tummies (or legs, as one of my just went through). It’s like peach fuzz! *runs off to snorgle kittehs before work*
Aw thanks guys! She had bladder stones, and seems to be fine now
However, she also has poodle legs too, haha– She had to get an IV for the surgery so they shaved a band around one of her front legs. Right after surgery, my grandmother died and I had to leave town and couldn’t leave my kitty alone, so my friends came to stay with her. They bought me lillies to be sweet about my grandma, unbeknownst to us that they’re EXTREMELY TOXIC to kitties!! Of course, Moose (cat) ate some. So they rushed her to the vet and they had to give her another IV in her other leg, so now it looks like she’s wearing 2 fuzzy boots on her front legs!! But she is fine, and a word to any cat owners out there– don’t get lillies! And if your cat eats even a little bit, take them to the vet ASAP!!
The moral of the story really isn’t lillies, it’s about all the fur she needs to grow back, haha.
RIP Hilz’ grandmother.
Love the poodle legs/boots look! Glad Moose is doing better. And so sorry about your grandmom.
p.s.- awesome friends for rushing her to the vet! I had a friend looking after one of my kitties years ago who did not rush cat to the vet after an accident (never try to outrun a naughty kitty & always check before slamming doors) so the big bad bunchy cat had a stumpy tail the rest of his senior years,
I’m so sorry about your grandmother. Hope Moose is better soon!
AWW
I am so sorry to hear about your dear kitty, Hilz 
I hope your dear sweet kitty gets better 
I am also sorry to hear about your grandmother’s passing 
(BIG CYBER HUG)
May your grandmother rest in peace. And my condolences to the rest of your family . My compliments to your friends for rushing your cat to the vet in time to save it !
Did anyone else think the cat was levitating in the box? Dang confusing camera angle!

Box hab-itation
Sydney (Empty) Carton says: It is a far, far better string that I chew…
Isn’t that from A Tail of Two Kitties?
Ah, if only that were the one I’d been forced to read for school. (Twice! 8-O)
*muttering* Knew I shoulda put a space in!
HAAAAAAAW!
she’s so beeyootiful!
My sentiments, exactly, ashagato!
My dear departed tinee tabbee girl Steve would approve of Louis’s name.
Were either the girl named Steve or the other girl named Louis, related
to the boy named Sue??

and I had cousins who had a girl pitbull named Floyd.
She was sweet.
Floyd is a great name for a pitbull of any sex!
She was a Pink Floyd, of course…
Heehee
My Francesco ended up with his name because when I got him I thought he was a girl and named him Frances. (His ‘tocks are so floofy that I didn’t see his bits.) When the vet told me he was a boy, I realized that I could change him to a boy name by just adding two letters.
My bunny “Lexi” turned into “Alexi” the same way! (Easy to misdiagnose “gender” in buns!)
One of my best friends in high school had an elderly female tabby named Jonathan.
my brother named our dog John Irma (a girl). My two, Lewis and Clark, were supposed to be Lois and Clark, but like Skippymom, bits were mis-identified
I named my blue/gray persian mix “Precious” – even though he was a male and was not precious at all times. But still, a very good cat.
In my defense, we had moved around a lot and I was finally able to have a pet again. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw him as this cute little ball of kitten fur and he hissed at me – well, it was a pet store and he was in a little cage at the back so I didn’t blame him.
Actually, I remember he was part Himalayan/Persian. So not as flat of a face. Gorgeous color.
I had a friend with a male cat called Mr. Princess.
Yes he was a great cat – good size but not overweight but unfortunately he is no longer with us. He and I used to “box” with each other. My mom took a picture of me on my knees and him up on his haunches “boxing” with each other. He never used his claws when we played our game. That was quite awhile back.
btw do you remember which C.O. member I recommended the James Herriott series to? We all got into a book discussion over a month or more ago. I keep thinking maybe it was the Queen of Dork but I’m not sure. Plus, I don’t see her posting anymore. I keep wondering if she’s holed up reading them and thus not posting.
Sorry, I do not remember which C.O. member you recommended the James Herriott series to, The Original Jane
It was Queen of Dork.

I just realized we have a Teresa and a Theresa, sorry I commented to the wrong one on this question. I’ll have to keep track – Teresa seems to use a lot more icons in her posts!
6Rabbits, thanks! I thought it was the Queen of Dork. Where has she been? I hope spending the cold weather reading all the James Herriott series. Then she’ll emerge in spring raving about how wonderful the books are!
*reads hovertext* ….As someone with an English degree, I would like to point out that there are far more political science majors living in boxes than us.
On the CarTalk website, the Chairman, Underemployment Study Group is Art Majors.
One should also consider the
Professional Organization of English Majors
(aka P.O.E.M.)
I have an English degree as well (turned out quite well for me, aktually). I applaud anyone who pursues an education in any form – and I approve of cute snorgleable cat-bellies in boxes. I passed a lot of homeless people on my walk to work this morning (on the streets of Toronto) – we have a cold kind of nearly-freezing rain coming down today that promises to turn to a bitter snow storm over the next 24 hours. I worry about the people on the street.
I’m an English major who married another English major. We have a cat. She probably lives the best out of the three of us (mostly because she doesn’t lose any sleep over how we’re going to pay student loans).
English major, fine arts minor here. Otherwise known as the “Would you like fries with that?” degree.
Try Modern European History and French Language & Literature.
BA in Outrageous Frawnsche, minors each in Choiman & Russkie; and an MLS in what one of my Knucklehaid Brudders, refers to as “Librariology” !!! So yours and mine are pretty Dang Parallel, Emmberrann!!!
Haha…I went with a Religious Studies minor (couldn’t hack it in Fine Arts, I guess).
What were we thinking? Moreover, what were our parents thinking? Shouldn’t they have warned us?!
Religious Studies major, English Lit minor here….*sigh*
i just can’t feel the angst…clearly this kitty lives with a loving famly in a warm house and has a room of her own where she falls asleep at night saying her prayers to Mama Catcha…she is safe, cozy and happy…nite, nite miz kitty…
I always wanted a tabby. In order from childhood (one at a time) we had a marmie a calico and a persian (blue) mix. But never got to have a tabby. Now I’m allergic. Sniffs….
This is not a tabby. Judging from the spot patterns I’d say she is likely a beautiful silver Mao (or partially Mao). She is very snorglable though.
Kitty in the box, I will feed the kitty in the box. Give him a cup a tuna he will be my friend.
I remember getting a kitty for 99c then I was carrying her home in a box we stopped in the food court of local mall and shared my arbys roast beef sandwich w her.
We were best buds after that. Miss her its been awhile but a good memory.

There’s a kitty living in a box on my back porch. His owner has abandoned him. I’m providing food, water, skritches, and a polar fleece-lined box to sleep in. All the shelters here are full and can’t take him. He can’t come in because of the 2 furgirls in residence. Oh, and btw, English major/art history minor plus a degree in nursing.
YAY julie b and kitteh!!!
*shakes pompoms in advocacy & encouragement*
(EXTRA BONUS, “BROWNIE POINTS”, for the polar fleece-lined “crib”
)
AWW
I am so glad you are able to give a kitty a loving home even if you are forced to have him on your back porch due to the fact your two furgirls would beat the stuffings out of him, julie b 
Is there any way you could get your two furgirls to accept the new kitty?
Yeah! Thanks for posting my little girl. Maybe now she’ll be motivated to get a job! My neighbors just got a lethally cute Shiba Inu puppy. Must get photo.
